The Cy_SysInt functions are for PSoC 6 not PSoC 4.
To get vTaskList to be in your project you need to “configUSE_TRACE_FACILITY and configUSE_STATS_FORMATTING_FUNCTIONS must be defined as 1 in FreeRTOSConfig.” from the FreeRTOS documentation.

Tried this example on PSoc Creator 4.2 but apparently some of the names have changed and some functions seem to be missing. Example: CyIntSetSysVector() becomes Cy_SysInt_SetVector(). Unfortunately vTaskList() does not seem to exist at all.

In reply to Carlos.

OK… for sure on Tickless

As to the dual core P6…. that wasn’t really the intent of the chip as the 2nd core (the CM0+) was really put there as a security processor and a link-layer manager for the BLE. But I might try it.

Hi,
Maybe i ask for a lot but here’s a couple of projects i think might be interesting to see:
* A project using the FreeRTOS tickless mode.
* And i haven’t saw the FreeRTOS examples using multi-core microcontrollers, but, what use cases can require running FreeRTOS on both cores on the P6? i don’t know how the cores would “talk” to each other, using IPC or regular FreeRTOS semaphores and queues.

In reply to Vasyl Yosypenko. Thank you... I will give a try and write about it.
